Well options are scarce.
We had arguments about AIO.
I then (2018) said this:

I love AIOs and they're fun, but the Linux Balkan and the Mac zealots are no fun to play with.

No other Dev-system or Language offers AIOs.
While that could be a Unique selling point, they get increasingly hard to pull of and get right.

I'm not advocating against them properly, but someone™ would have to invest time and money to
test that damn thing on around 12-20 combinations of hardware and OS revisions. And I don't see that.

Please someone tell me a way to get it right :D
